Given that it's your "friend" (I presume that is what you were going out) shouldn't this be a non-issue. Mac2Sell quotes it at $3,520  it's not scam material on first sight, but it also is not exactly within a predictable price range.

If a fiend, probably a scam
If a friend, then ask why he is selling it, go over and run the machine through its paces, open it up and look inside. If seems like its on the up and up, it's a deal. And if it goes south on you, find your friend and make him make it right.

What would you recommend i do to best run it through a good test for speed and overall awesomeness. LOL also to make sure nothing is really wrong with it. Just do basic's like the internet and itunes or go more intensive???????

Not a very good 'friend'. When I sell to friends I try to give them great deals. If I want to milk absolute value from something I won't attempt to do that to a friend. Basically I put some value on the friendship and the ease of selling whatever it is (no shipping, no ebay, no scammers, etc...).

I'm not saying I give anything away, but I find a price (Ebay or whatever) and then go down a bit from there. Everyone ends up happy.

When I buy from friends, I like to give them fair prices. I don't want to get taken, but I don't want them to feel that they've been taken. You both need to sit down and do the research, you can even do that together, and come up with a price that you are both happy with, or decide that the "fair price" is not worth it for you to buy or your friend to sell.
